Great Smoky Mountain National Park
Welcome to the Smokies Our family was fortunate enough to travel to Great Smoky Mountain National Park in October 2015. I have loved this park for many years due to the variety of terrain, the number of things to do within the park and the juxtaposition of a wilderness area in heavily inhabited eastern part of the United States. I can't remember when I first visited the park, but it was probably on a college road trip with a friend. I've made several trips there over the years, primarily to either backpack or fly fish, but this was the first time that I had gone with my family.
